Sony FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS Lens (Sony E)

The farthest reaching Sony E-mount lens yet, the FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS Lens from Sony is a super-telephoto powerhouse lens that's primed to be the dominant choice for capturing wildlife, nature, and sports. With this addition to the G Series, Sony continues to blur the lines between G and GM lenses, offering its users exceptional quality at a reduced cost. This lens features internal zoom for improved functionality as well as dual linear motors for smooth, quick AF performance. Optical SteadyShot stabilization includes three distinct modes, along with a focus limiter and three focus hold buttons for advanced control. For increased lens stability and sharper imagery, a fixed, rotating tripod foot is included on the lens.

Unprecedented Range

Not only is this the first Alpha zoom to reach 800mm, but its compatibility with 1.4x and 2x teleconverters extends the maximum focal length to 1120mm and 1600mm respectively, making this an elite choice for birding and wildlife as you'll be able to keep a safe distance from your subjects. Complementing its impressive reach is a zoom ring that offers smooth, precise rotation that is made to help prevent accidental focal length changes.

Poised to outshine Sony's FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS, this super-telephoto provides longer range and better overall lens performance while weighing just slightly more at 5.45 lb.

Featuring a short rotational throw, this lens allows you to make swift focal adjustments while capturing.

This zoom accepts screw-in filters on the front lens element, expanding your ability to create in various lighting conditions.

Multiple function switches are built into the lens barrel that allow you to make rapid settings adjustments, including a switch for AF/MF, OSS, and focus limiting.

Six ED lens elements significantly reduce flare and ghosting in backlit conditions and help control chromatic aberration in images.

An 11-blade circular diaphragm produces smooth and rich bokeh, ensuring effective subject isolation and blurred background when capturing with a narrow depth of field.

A complex optical configuration of 27 elements in 19 groups allows the lens to reproduce fine details and create high-contrast images.

• Equipped with a dust- and moisture-resistant design, the FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS maximizes reliability in the field, regardless of inclement weather conditions.
• The front lens element features a fluorine coating that repels water and oil. This coating also makes the lens glass easier to clean.
• A robust lens hood with a lock button adds significant protection and features a filter opening for quick and convenient filter adjustment.

A 400-800mm zoom range demands exceptional lens stability, which is provided by Sony's Optical SteadyShot image-stabilization system. OSS utilizes a gimbal mechanism and an algorithm to effectively counteract camera shake by shifting the entire lens unit and sensor. When using a tripod, the lens's fixed mount foot can be easily rotated for horizontal or vertical capturing. Located around the lens barrel at 90? increments are three focus hold buttons, allowing maximum access in any orientation. These buttons can also be assigned to your preferred functions for making specific settings changes more quickly.
